There is about three weeks left.
In this last week we
said goodbye to our last teams.
Started our first last's
Flew out of the country on a visa run
So much has happened this summer. It's hard to summarize. It's even sometimes hard to put on paper. In these last two months we have come to love this city and it's people. Everyone always with a smile and a hello.
This summer I was/am able to help a growing nonprofit here expand and grow. As part of this we had a bazar to sell some of their products. Zach, Ashton and I (the three interns working with them this summer) set up a pop up shop for a weekend. Our intern team and our last short term team were able to by bags and scarves and table runners for friends and family and, themselves, back home. In the two days, we sold items we made enough to employ one lady for a third of the year. It was so cool to be able to take that money to their office and present it. They were blown away. We will continue to help them, till we leave and maybe even after we leave. It's been so cool to have a practical way to serve this city and it's people. Next week, we are going to the fabric store to see what they have available and it what prints to make suggestions. I will also be picking up some traditional fabric to bring home.
Each time we had teams come thru they brought an extra energy and power with them. It was cool to see them grow in confidence and know that J will use them to preform miracles here and now. As interns it was refreshing and a bit tiring for them to come thru but we have met new people because of them and decisions have been made that change lives because of their yeses.
As we look forward to the rest of our time here we are trying to remain present and not think too much about the end. There is so much the Father wants to do and we want to still be in a mind set to say yes and be willing. This next week most of us will be traveling to other parts of this island to have a little fun and to reach places that Ms can't go very easily
Please continue to PR for our team.
Many have been sick lately and with travel in our plans good health for all is wanted.
That we would continue to be present here and now each day
That I would hear and see all that J has for me in the coming weeks.
For all the relationships already built that we could build them strong and know how and who to pass them to when we leave.
